Headline: UNCAPTIONED: All Passengers Survive as Plane Overturns in Toronto Crash Landing
Caption: All Passengers Survive as Plane Overturns in Toronto Crash Landing. A Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis crash-landed in Toronto, overturning on the runway, but all 80 people on board survived. The CRJ900 aircraft skidded across the runway with one wing on fire before coming to a stop upside down, prompting a rapid emergency response. Survivors described the terrifying moment they were left hanging upside down in their seats before dropping onto the ceiling and scrambling out. Eighteen passengers were hospitalized, with a child, a man in his 60s, and a woman in her 40s suffering critical injuries. Emergency teams responded swiftly, with Ontario officials calling their efforts "textbook" in preventing fatalities. The crash caused major disruptions at Toronto Pearson Airport, leading to flight cancellations and delays as two runways remain closed for investigation. Initial reports suggested strong winds and snowfall played a role, but officials later said the runway was dry and there were no crosswinds at the time. Video footage showed passengers climbing out of the overturned plane as fire crews sprayed it with foam to contain the fire. The incident is one of several recent aviation emergencies in North America, including a fatal mid-air collision near Washington, D.C. Investigators are working to determine the cause of the crash, while affected passengers face delays due to ongoing airport disruptions.
